Hendrix Folds the Winner

Adam Lamers

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 1,600,000 with A♦Q♣ from under the gun and Joey Padron defended in the big blind with the suited J♥8♥. The flop came 6♥2♥2♦ and Padron check-called a bet of 1,400,000 from Hendrix.

The turn brought the 7♦ and both players checked to the 7♣ on the river. Padron led out with a small bet of 1,800,000 after missing his flush draw which sent Hendrix into the tank. After thinking for a minute into the break, Hendrix eventually dumped the best hand into the muck.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Maksim Pisarenko raised it up to 1,800,000 and Kenny Hallaert called on the button. Both blinds folded to make way for the K♦4♦2♥ flop. The continuation-bet was worth 2,000,000, and Hallaert called to see the 2♦ on the turn. Pisarenko opted to check and Hallaert checked it back to the J♥ on the river.

Another check by Pisarenko followed and Hallaert checked it back for the Russian to win the pot with the 9♣9♦ for nines and deuces.

Jarod Minghini then raised to 1,600,000 in early position as action folded to Michael Mizrachi, who announced a raise in the small blind with A♦K♥. Mizrachi put in the 1,600,000 before making it 6,100,000. The floor was called over, and it was ruled that since Mizrachi had only put in the 1,600,000 initially, he was allowed to just min-raise to 2,400,000.

The flop came K♠10♥2♥ and Mizrachi bet 3,300,000 with his pair of kings. Minghini folded 8♥8♣ and Mizrachi took the last pot before the break.

"I don't think that's the right rule," Mizrachi said.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sergio Veloso raised to 2,000,000 in the cutoff with A♦Q♥ and Michael Mizrachi called on the button. It folded to Maksim Pisarenko in the big blind, and he announced a reraise to 8,000,000.

Veloso asked Pisarenko to count his stack about the stack size of Pisarenko and then four-bet to 28,900,000, forcing out Mizrachi and getting rid of Pisarenko's A♥6♣ as well.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Daehyung Lee raised to 2,000,000 in the cutoff and Joseph Ozimok moved all in for 7,700,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Lee asked for a count before making the call.

Joseph Ozimok: Q♠Q♦ All in
Daehyung Lee: A♣8♦

The flop came J♣9♦8♣ to give Lee a pair of eights but it wasn't enough to overtake the pocket queens of Ozimok. The K♥ on the turn and the 7♠ on the river changed nothing, and Ozimok scored a double-up.

Minghini checked once more on the 3♠ river and Dunaway snap-jammed to put Minghini to the test for his remaining 8,100,000. Minghini folded 7♠6♣.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Joey Padron raised to 2,000,000 in the cutoff with K♦J♣ and Adam Hendrix three-bet to 5,800,000 on the button. Lautaro Guerra four-bet shoved all in for 15,000,000 in the small blind, which got Padrono to fold, but Hendrix snapped him off.

Lautaro Guerra: 10♠10♦ All in
Adam Hendrix: A♣K♣

The flop fell 6♦4♠2♦ and Guerra's pocket tens remained in the lead. The 8♣ on the turn changed nothing and the 6♠ paired the board on the river to give Guerra a double-up.
